Cingular Ready To Break Ranks?

Is Cingular about to get ready to let VoIP run free over their data networks? That's the word out of the Yankee Group's Wireless Conference tonight.

But they want to find a way to make it work right and of course find a way to make money off of it in some way.

This of course follows the word yesterday in Light Reading espousing how Time Warner Cable and Sprint are getting ready to roll out Fixed Mobile Convergence enabled dualmode voice via BridgePort Networks and Siemens.

What this means is that phones that work on both cellular networks and WiFi will have one number and calls will continue as you roam from Cellular to WiFi or in the other direction.
